Race Ethnic Code reported excluding international students at the divisor. Students are reported in up
to two reported race ethnic categories.
Note: Percent of total will not sum to 100 percent as a student may be counted in two race categories in
the numerator though the denominator counts each student only once.

Age of Students Served (cont.)
As in past years, younger students were far more likely to enroll with a transfer goal than older students, who were
more likely to enroll for workforce education. Students who enrolled with a basic skills goal were nearly equally
represented across the age spectrum.
Transfer Students: State-supported transfer students tended to be younger students (median age of 21.2). Transfer
students younger than 20 years have decreased slightly each year since 2009. This trend is consistent with
population projections showing that this age group will plateau and then decline through 2015. There was a decrease
in each age group, with the largest decrease in the 45-49 age group.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges
Fall 2012
Entering Educational Status of Students
Educational Background:
The majority of new transfer
and workforce students
typically enter college with
little or no prior college
experience. In fall 2012, nearly
three-fourths (74 percent) of
new transfer students had at
most a high school education,
but no college. Another 21
percent had some college, but
no degree. Five percent already
had an associate or bachelor’s
degree or higher. These
students likely enrolled for
math, statistics or other course
requirements needed to take
their education to the next
level.
Workforce students starting in fall 2012 were also very likely to have little prior college. Over three-fourths (82 percent)
started with, at most, some college-level experience. Over half (59 percent) had a high school education, but no college.
Eighteen percent had an associate degree or higher. These students frequently return for job-specific skills, or to retrain
for entirely new fields such as nursing.

New Transfer Students by Planned Length of Attendance
Many state-supported students enroll at
community and technical colleges each year to
explore the option of transfer. In fall 2012,
20,619 new students started college with a transfer
goal. Over half (53 percent) of new fall transfer
students plan to complete a degree at their college
before they transfer, a one percent increase from
the previous year.

New Workforce Students by Planned Length of Attendance
In fall 2012, the overall number of new workforce
students continued its two-year drop after a
consistent rise from 2008 to 2010. This decline is
likely due to the decrease in Worker Retraining
funding available for workforce students as well as
the continuously declining seat availability for new
students, who have the lowest priority registration.
It is also likely impacted by the exhuastion of
unemployment insurance and the improving job
market. The distribution of those seeking a degree
increased slightly to 52 percent, while those with an
unknown goal increased one percent.

Family and Employment Status of Students Served
Family Status: Nearly a third (30 percent) of the students enrolled in fall 2012 are parents.
Employment Status: Colleges enrolled over 47,000 unemployed students seeking employment training. High
unemployment continued to have the effect of more students enrolling full-time in college who normally might not
attend college, or, only attending part-time because of work.
